The General Authority for Supply and Procurement in Damascus has officially announced a new tender for the procurement of advanced medical infrastructure. The project involves the supply, installation, and commissioning of a central sterilization device designated for the National University Hospital in Damascus, operating under the purview of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. This initiative is part of ongoing efforts to upgrade medical facilities and ensure the availability of essential equipment for public health institutions.
The tender, officially identified as number 078-E-2026, was announced on August 16, 2026. Interested suppliers and contractors are invited to submit their bids in accordance with the technical and financial conditions specified in the official tender documents.
